Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the land at Lots 1093 and 1094 is waqf land based on its nature and use. A charitable trust exists for the advancement of Islam or the benefit of Muslims under the trust deeds and indentures dated 1961 for Lot 1093 and 1959 for Lot 1094. Both lots remain waqf, and the Penang State Islamic Religious Council is the sole trustee, a position that heirs may not dispute. The fatwa also states that the Council acted correctly in registering the lands in its name, and that as trustee it may prevent any misappropriation under the principle of sadd al-dhara'i.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Pulau Pinang (MAINPP) adalah sebagai pemegang amanah tunggal terhadap tanah wakaf tersebut dan tidak boleh dipertikaikan oleh pewaris.
